The straight to DVD market is a mystery to me. How does it survive? Who buys these discs of disappointment? Even the covers are a massive warning sign. Yet somehow people buy them. I’ve never once met one of these people and I actually wonder whether they exist or could it be that the studio is hired to come up with a formulaic friendly piece of garbage to stop dust gathering on some of the shelf space at the local Blockbusters. Not that I’ve seen many of these at Blockbusters, either. Yet, somehow films like The Violent Kind come around to yet again kick down my faith in the film industry.
